He wants to take government malinvestment and form a federal monopoly on the 3d printing industry. This crony capitalism will limit the technology to the whims of government and the military. Any power that could come from peer-to-peer manufacturing is gone from the people.

Having not read (and barely skimmed) the paper: It does bother me that the paper does not contain the word 'change'. Any statistical analysis of bitcoin transactions that doesn't discuss the notion of change is likely to be flawed, since the ambiguity as to which output is the 'real' ...

Quote from: Baykun on January 25, 2013, 07:28:49 PM If the BitCoins are offline, how could the BitCoin network know if they are destroyed, lost, or never to be used again? The bitcoins are not actually stored offline. Only the private key. Imagine it like a mailbox, anybody can put mo...

First, I am not a part of FTPbox team, just like this opensource project a lot. It is somehow "DropBox-Like" service, but you make "the cloud" yourself using SFTP / FTP protocol. There's even a web interface available. The project is still in beta, but full program will also feature W...

If anyone wants to get an idea of the future where fiat currency is dead and buried, and bitcoin rules, then it is worth seeing the movie "In Time". It is very watchable and Timberlake's acting is pretty decent. However, for bitcoin fans, there is a visual metaphor showing a universal...

Bitcoin isn't "backed" by anything, but what gives it value is the same thing that gives all forms of money their value...its utility for exchange. Paper currencies became popular and valuable because they were more convenient for exchange than physical gold and silver. Digital curren...

Most importantly there is no freeze of funds or accounts. We still have full access to our accounts and funds. We keep reserves in multiple banks and we were able to make a significant wire transfer out of Bank Of America to our other accounts to boost our available funds. FastCash4Bi...

One of the problems with creating an alternative to facebook, without ads and tracking, is that even if you do manage to get the market to move then it creates a huge incentive to introduce ads and tracking, just as facebook did after it gained the market from myspace. What if there w...

I know I'm new here and all that, but I have a concept I'd like to run by you all - it's basically a fund which we can use to guarantee fiat cash to regular merchants. The fund will be "untouchable" by any individual - in fact I propose that it requires 3 out of 4 trustees to be able ...
